A/N: Sorry it took so long for this chapter, but we are lazy. VERY lazy. So extremely lazy that I'm not going to bother writing more of this A/N.
Kanto
Professor Oak left us to go back to Pallet town and look for some more people. Autumn, Riolu, Nido and I are told to head north up Route 1 to Viridian City. There, we should find the Kanto Force and wait until he gets back to us.
Of course, the journey there would take about a day or so. He gave us some camping supplies, some food, and a backpack to hold everything. Before we knew it, we Autumn and I were off in Route 1.
We didn't talk much. Seeing Pallet Town destroyed, and people and Pokemon getting killed... it was really traumatizing. We didn't eat much for dinner, and we took turns taking watch. Riolu made it his duty that, even in the night, he wouldn't sleep as long as I'm watching. Nido did the same for Autumn.
As the sun rose, we packed our things and got moving.
"It should only take about another half a day to get to Viridian," Autumn says as she holds the map. "I just hope nothing bad happens on the way there."
Sure enough, we were attacked by a flock of wild Pidgey. Riolu and Nido defeated them with Aura Sphere and Sludge Bomb, but by the end we still had pecks and bites all over us.
Because of the Pidgey, we didn't make it to Viridian until around sunset.
"Look over the hill! There's Viridian!" Autumn exclaims.
We ran in delight towards it, but when we got there it looked deserted and destroyed. We finally managed to find some rather official looking people in the Kanto Force uniforms patrolling along the outer edge of a concrete building.
They see us immediately. One of them, the one with a Poliwrath, speaks to us first.
"Hey! What are you two kids doing here?" he asks. "You shouldn't be in a war zone."
"We were told to come here by Professor Oak. Pallet Town was attacked!" Autumn replied.
"We know," the other one with the Scizzor says. "Most of what's left of the Kanto Force was split up because of that. Half of us are going to Pewter to drive the Johto Army away, and the other half is going to Pallet to fend them off there."
The Poliwrath and the Scizzor seemed to be explaining the same stuff to our Pokemon.
"We need to find shelter for now," I say. "We were one of the few survivors."
"I sure hope Del is okay..." the first trainer said. "She's pregnant with our son. I couldn't bear it if she..."
"Ah, come on, dude. She should be fine." the other says. "Oh! I forgot to introduce us. I'm not allowed to tell you our real names because of the stupid military rules, but you can call me General."
"And you can call me Captain," the first said. "We can get you to our bunker, but we have to be out by tomorrow. Lieutenant needs every man, and Pokemon, he can get to fight Johto."
With that, he showed us to our quarters. They were small and a bit cramped, but we only needed to stay there for the night.
"You don't need to worry about enemies either," General told us. "We're constantly patrolling around the base. Now if you need anything, ask Captain. I'm too busy to do stuff for you guys," he said busy sarcastically.
As we watched the sun set, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into...
Johto
(Present tense now)
I was shocked, scared, pissed, etc. mostly at the guard for not telling us but we could still try to talk our way out of this... or not.
"Sara. I think we've had a slight misunderstanding here. I do believe we should try to get that sorted out," I said as we walked away.
"I agree" Sara replied "Is Shiny ready to go? Aipom is."
"Yep and ready for the combat exercise." (Heh heh, see what I did there. I see what I did there!)
"Shiny! Break through the wall with Steel Wing!"
"Aipom, follow and protect Shiny with Fury Swipes!"
"Oh no you don't!" said the guard. "Go, Ursaring!"
Uh oh. I thought This could be bad.
"Shiny, use Drill Peck on Ursaring!"
"Yeah! We can't let them stop us right, Wyatt! Aipom, use Dig and hit Ursaring from below!"
"Hmph. Your battle styles are to straight forward. You only attack," The guard told us. "Use other types of moves. Ursaring, use Counter when they hit you!"
"But that's an attack move, I thought you said not to use attack moves" pointed out Sara.
"Shut up girl. I said to not only use attack moves. Have strategy. Anyways orientation starts right now."
"Fine. Aipom return." Sara said begrudgingly.
"Yeah, you too Shiny. This is a fight we won't win." I said.
As we went to sit down I told Sara. "I think we can make it-"
"Hello new recruits. I would, as one of the top ranking officers in this Army, like to thank you personally for helping take down Team Rocket.
"But aren't they trying to achieve peace?" Sara asked.
"No. They just want you to believe that." The officer told her.
Well at least he is nicer than the guards. I thought. It felt like deja-vu. I knew this guy from somewhere. Then it hit me. My moms photo albums! That guy is my dad, Gold! My dad, Gold is not only in the Military, but a Commander!
"Sara."
"What?"
"First, that's my dad and se-"
"Wait, what?!" Sara exclaimed. "Slow down!"
"Okay okay. But be quiet. Never mind, I just recognise him from some of my mom's photo albums. And as I was saying before, I think we can make it out through the hole in the wall."
"Okay then. Let's do this."
"Shiny! Use Whirlwind and create a distraction!" I yelled.
"Yeah, use Seed Bomb too." said Sara.
"Now go! We can make it!"
We ran as far as we could (that's pretty far considering that there aren't any McDonphans here or interesting TV, and we're pretty in-shape)
"I think we lost them." I said.
"You know they they weren't following us right?" Sara pointed out.
"Shuddup,"
"We should probably make shelter," Sara said casually.
"No dip sherlock!" I say sarcastically.
"Well you don't have to be so mean about it..." Sara tells me in a whiney voice.
"Ok, ok, fine. Sorry," I say. "We should probably catch some more Pokémon."
"Yeah, I agree. Tomorrow?"
"Yep Tomorrow."
(The Next Day)
"Come on Wyatt!" I hear. Then I remember where we are. Refugees on the run. Yesterday we were ordinary kid's. Apparently (Not being ignorant of any non-Arceusians out there but) Arceus had a different plan.
"Okay then. Let's go catch some Pokémon!"
SUSPENSE IS SO SUSPENSEFUL! So yeah... we're still lazy. Bye!
